HI! I'm a Freeloader!

I'm a Freeloader.
I didn't pay for anything.
I became a Draftsman out of Public High Schooling -I didn't pay for.
I worked my way up into the design field
So I guess that makes me a Designer-Freeloader.
My parents housed me
My parents clothed me
My parents fed me
They taught me to be responsible and take responsibility
and since I applied those principles to employment
I got promotions that didn't cost me a thing!
I simply moved up the ladder!
Even the Company sent me to college courses to learn engineering
They even sent me to learn Computer Aided Drafting and Design
Cost me nothing! I simply freeloaded and filled my head with whatever they taught me!
So,
HI Everybody! I'm a Freeloader!
The kind of freeloader trump and his republicants want to get rid of!

For three decades I worked in the county hospital as a registered nurse making 10-20% less than nurses in private hospitals, and in the county hospital our patient load was higher and they were sicker.
And now I'm retired on my lavish government pension of $1,859/month. Of course thanks to Joe Biden and the Democratic congress members my Social Security is no longer cut by more than half because I have a public pension.

I even worked for a Government defense contractor and designed equipment used in planes and submarines!
And it didn't cost me anything! In fact, they payed ME to 'play video games' all day long!

“From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs.”

As an infant, I needed everything and could do nothing on my own. For some inexplicable reason, my parents were cool with that.

Later, as I was able, I helped clean the kitchen and mow the lawn. I was provided with room and board free of charge, along with healthcare, dental, clothing.

I’m pretty sure that every functional family is communist. Horrible!

In high school I mowed lawns up and down the block for a buck or two, and saved up that money to buy electric guitar parts for an electric guitar I was building in the Socialist high school! A guitar, I might add, that is still in use today and hanging on my wal!!
